The actors that my group chose where the once that we only knew that could fit the description of the characters in the play. To play Val we chose Denzel Washington for he know for his masculinity and his overzealous performance that fit the character of Val well. We chose Justin Chatwin to play William Willis for he portrays an average white guy with a witty attitude like he did in the Showtime show Shameless. We chose Bryan Cranston to play Parker for a couple reasons. We honestly could not find an African American that we knew of that can play a stern yet likable characters, and it would be interesting to cast a white man for power struggle that can be shown in this play. We chose Anthony Mackie for he is known for being in tough action movies and has the stern look that can easily be portrayed in Charlie's character. We chose Janelle Monae for Alea for she has soft, mother-like features that could be a powerful sidekick for Val, like she does in her film Hidden Figures. We lastly casted Danny Glover for Rusty for he is a mature actor who has rough features that perfectly resemble a Rusty-like character.
